Core i7 920 rev D0 stepping 5 :)

[Lu(ky]

3849A832 seems to be almost on par with the 3845B027 as far I have seen. For example this thread @ the evga forums.

Keep the A832

Thanks, tough call I guess, but seems that less voltage for the same clock would be more beneficial, since I would be running WCG and F @ H on the system. If I could hit 4-4.2 ghz with no more than 1.3v; I would be happy. My Co's from my little experience only hit 3.8@ 1.3v.

Just found a 3849A832; would this be slightly better than the B028 or B203? Someone above said that the A832 would be equivilent to the B027 which is a great chip to have from what Ive read.

Or better yet; which batch would be of best interest? Thanks

EDIT:Would a xeon w3520 be a better option? not even sure if they are supported my my mobos yet; BloodRage, Biostar Tpower, Gigabyte UD4P

A832 is a good batch they all seem to do the same, I can do (Prime Stable) 4.5ghz HT on 4.6 ht off and 4.2 HT on with 2000mhz mem 7-7-7-20. It can go higher than this if you can keep the temps under control.

Okay, so lately has anybody been able to get any earlier batches (3845/3846) from Micro Center? Trend tends to indicate that earlier batches OC better than latter batches. Haven't checked any 920 lately at MC, so I'm not sure what kind of batches they have now comparing to a week ago or earlier.

I picked this one up today at MicroCenter in Tustin, CA I plan on going back and looting the store.. I will try to buy as many as I can --------> H E R E
